Drivers ticketed for speeding 100+ mph on Interstate 15 (I-15) face the immediate risk of suspension. The CHP and the DMV recently launched a new pilot program. This program is called Forwarded Actions for Speeding Tickets (FAST).
FAST targets drivers charged with speeding in excess of 100 mph on I-15 between Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
Officers monitor this major North-South route between Los Angeles and Las Vegas because there are statistically more triple-digit speeding tickets issued here than any other route in CA, except I-5 between LAX and San Francisco.
Citations for speeds over 100 mph now trigger an automatic administrative review by the DMV.
High speeds reduce your stopping time on busy highways. California officials believe that early intervention is the key to safety. They want to intervene before dangerous driving turns deadly.
“In 2023 alone, there were approximately 3,600 fatalities and more than 14,000 serious injuries on all state public roads.”—CALSTA.CA.GOV.
Legal Risks After Being Ticketed for Speeding 100+ MPH
The FAST program automatically sends tickets to the DMV. This review happens before you even go to traffic court. This DMV review is a major change for all California drivers.
Your driver’s license could be suspended or revoked very quickly under this pilot program.
This DMV review can happen even if you were only ticketed for speeding 100+ mph once and have no other traffic tickets. Bigger & Harman works to protect your driving privileges.
Law enforcement uses specially marked patrol vehicles (SMPVs) to blend into traffic. These cars often blend in to spot those speeding 100+ mph. We have years of experience handling these complex cases.
Immediate Steps to Take for Your Defense
You must act fast to protect your driving privileges from suspension or revocation. Missing a hearing could lead to a default license suspension.
We suggest these three steps for every driver who was ticketed for speeding 100+ mph:
- Check your address with the DMV records right away. To check your address on record with the CA DMV, log in to your My DMV account at my.dmv.ca.gov or you can call the DMV at 1-800-777-0133 for assistance with records and address corrections.
- Monitor your mailbox daily for any hearing notices.
- Contact a California traffic attorney for immediate legal advice.
Just over a month into the program and we already have clients fighting DMV referrals from San Bernardino, Madera, Kern, Merced, and Kings County.
We understand the stress of a high-speed ticket. Our team will walk you through what to expect at your administrative hearing. We take pride in defending your rights.
Navigating the FAST Administrative Review Process
The DMV is currently setting hearing dates without your input. They are setting these dates arbitrarily to handle the high volume. You should get solid legal advice for this new process.
The CHP issued over 18,000 triple-digit citations last year. Many of these tickets occur on I-15 near Victorville, CA, the primary North-South route between Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
“San Bernardino County was the deadliest for driving among California’s 10 most populous counties, registering around 20 fatalities per 100,000 people in 2022.”—Consumer Affairs.
What’s more, I-15 in San Bernardino County was determined to be the deadliest highway in California in 2022, according to Consumer Affairs—22 of the 48 accidents with fatalities in 2022 were tied to speeding.
Some legal experts see this program as a form of non-judicial punishment. Eventually, this pilot program might reach the California Supreme Court for a judicial decision.
Although there are no guarantees, you should consult legal counsel to ensure your rights are protected at the DMV hearing and in court.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Section
Q: What should I do if ticketed for speeding 100+ mph near Victorville or anywhere in California?
A: Per the State press release, your ticket is automatically referred to the DMV for an immediate safety review. This DMV review happens regardless of your previous driving record or NOTS point balance. Call us at (661) 349-9300 for more detailed answers.
Q: Does the CHP use unmarked vehicles on I-15 to spot speeders?
A: They use Specially Marked Patrol Vehicles (SMPVs) that blend into normal traffic. These vehicles are supposed to help officers identify "video game-styled" or “Fast & Furious-type” driving on the highway. But they can issue tickets unless a court finds that their markings are not sufficient under California law.
Q: What should I do if I receive a DMV hearing notice?
A: You should contact a traffic attorney to prepare for the hearing to ensure the best possible outcome. We can help you get ahead of any proposed suspension or revocation of your driving privileges.
